let's compare our skill

I tried to write some sentences with G-pen and ink to see how accurate I am compared to other people with the current tools I have, on Kent paper. Please try to post something that shows your accuracy if you do paint. This is definitely not a boast, but I just really want to compare to know my accuracy. Yes, accuracy is very much related to sex, women would compare us, it's just a fact, but I'm not bragging.
By the way, the tip of the G-pen and the Kent paper are new, but the ink is at least ten years old. I usually use a desk and a chair (this chair is used and cheap, but it's a good chair. If you're going to paint, I recommend you buy a good chair. Or rather, I have read someone said so) then sit on the chair and paint, but I can't do it now. These are not necessarily excuses but I wrote this on a half-tatami mat space that had become kind of a semi-Faraday cage. Obviously, my posture is not suitable for painting. Also my eyes got worse. It blurs the writing very much at the distance I used to. And currently I have not reading glasses in my shack.
If anyone posted it, and if it was better than mine, I'll try to write something in the best condition. I don't think it will be much different though, but may be a little more accurate. Everyone compares. Maybe painters should compare our basic skill in kind of this way.

I like writing using pens and paper very much. However I may first need to know what a G-pen is and purchase one (if I don't have one already).
He's probably talking about something like this: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=comic+g+model+chrome+pen&_sacat=0
I got the information about manga pen nibs and nib holders. However, if I wish to use them, I'd need some solvents (ethanol or acetone, etc.) to wash the nib before and/or after use. It is impossible for me to purchase such solvents, since they (along with other chemicals) are strictly regulated by Chinese authorities. Basically I'll need approval from the police, but I don't wish to do so just for painting.
Therefore I'd like to use ordinary fountain pens instead.
I did not know that! Did that happen since the virus restrictions started, or was that restriction in place previously?
Purchasing of chemicals have been tightly restricted for quite a long time. Even if you caught cold and want to buy some pills from a pharmacy, you'd have to submit your identity to the pharmacy (and subsequently to the police), because some pills can be used to extract drugs.
In some places in China, you'll need police approval if you want to buy a small knife or lighter.
G-pen is magical pen. You probably cannot draw anything what you want at first. But you can draw even kensho-ed lines with it. Probably most manga-artists use this pen but it seems that only Akira Toriyama and Yoshihiro Togashi got kensho-ed lines as far as I know. They draw thick kensho-ed lines. But maybe I am the only person who can draw thin kensho-ed lines, too. Kyoko Okazaki was a victim of a hit-and-run car accident. Her lines was getting beauty, I see a sign of kensho, so probably she would have got kenshou-ed lines if she and her husbands had not had the accident. I do not know who is the criminals of the accident. But they should have prepared a scapegoat. It certainly seems like a hassle to prepare a scapegoat for a hit-and-run driver, and well, it would not make a difference in the end, but they still should have done so.
I prefer Zebra's G-pen. Tachikawa(and Nikko)'s G-pen is a bit harder, I feel. And you can choose a favorite pen holder, there are a lot of designs to choose from, or you might make it by yourself. Zebra's G-pen has more than 2220 reviews on Amazon.com. I did not know there was such a great demand for G-pen in any other country. I liked Dr Ph Martins' ink but it was expensive. I use Pilot's drafting ink. I felt that using scientific brush pen might be a good idea. I may be able to draw finer lines. I have tried quite a lot of (Chinese/Japanese-style) brushes, some of them were unbelievably expensive, but I still do not know an excellent brush maker. Moderate firmness is the point, but brushes using animals hair and existing chemical fibers have not it. But a scientific brush might be able to have best firmness. Yoshikazu Yasuhiko uses a brush instead of pens for his works. His lines have a flavor. The series of scenes before entering the Earth's atmosphere are especially wonderful.
Wow, a scientific brush might be really good... I got some inspiration for a new style painting... By the way, this is Yasuhiro Togashi's line, from HUNTER×HUNTER volume 36.
From his recent drawings, I can tell that he is having a lot of fun drawing. He is probably happy that his drawings had become much better, and it's encouraging to see him enjoying drawing so much after more than 20 years as a professional cartoonist. On the other hand, the creator of Naruto, by the end of his career, was doing it like it was a job he simply did not want to do. Drawing tells us everything.
Boring. I would like to see the accuracy of ordinary people too who don't paint so much. It is possible to draw fine lines with a normal pencil. Well, it might be more difficult to make it sharp, though...
I'm not a very good surfer, but I personally would like to have my surfing recorded and compare it to the riding of professional surfers, though.
I'm going to send email to some famous painters and invite them to this thread.
